Rooting of Pitch Pine Stump Sprouts
The importance of using clonal stock of pines in physiological and genetics studies is widely recognized. In genetic research the clonal material could be used in seed orchards, and the genetic uniformity of the clone would increase the efficiency of evaluations in flowerinduction studies, fertilizer treatments, or other environmental manipulations. A preliminary study of rooting pitch pine (Pinus ritvida Mill.) was undertaken to determine the possibilities for producing clonal material from trees that are several decades old.
